I sincerely thank all participants of this debate. Some of you have enriched my knowledge, especially the quotes from Sir V. S. Naipaul.
Re: Genghis Khan and Mongols.
Genghis Khan's mass murders were cited in the context of annihilation of Hindus. According to <i>Francois Gautier </i>the French Journalist who made India his home, during the five centuries between the tenth and the fourteenth, eight hundred million Hindus (or the equivalent of our population in 1971) were slaughtered by Mohammedan invaders - <i>because they were Hindus</i>. To put the figure in perspective, Nazi killing of six million Jews between 1939-45 is often described as genocide/holocaust. How then do you describe the killing of eight hundred million Hindus?
